The group has always run
events on nature, the environment and sustainability with a range of walks and
talks on topics from our birds and trees, our bats, streams and seashore, as
well as workshops on climate change, composting and making leaf mould. And
reducing food waste and plastics.
We also started implementing some of the many
recommendations the well-known ecologist Roger Goodwillie made in his Monkstown
Village Biodiversity Report Nov 2019 which examined eight green areas around
the village. With a grant and practical help from DLRCC, we worked with local
residents to plant bulbs and native trees in Vesey Park and a major bank of
pollinator plants beside Monkstown Castle."
Every year we have a varied program of events to
encourage residents to enjoy our natural environment, learn more about it and
how to take care of it. Most of our events are suitable for all the family. To
